LILLIAN songs, and had attempted in vain
- render classical music to his liking.
Then it was that she had taken counsel
OF the organist who had recommended
Jenny to her.
So Jenny sat mt the piano and sang II
song after another to him. Her roper
tory contained chiefly old ballads-such as
My Mother Bids Nc Bind My Hair
and solos from the oratorios. Mr.. Feyne
said very little, but sat in his dark corner
with his eyes fixed on Jenny. 1t was
only when Lady Eleanor said that she
feared they We're firing Miss Wilson that
he said in Il low voice to Jenny: "Ah, |

Lady Violet, who had come into the
hall. rang the hell and asked the servant

agree with me?" he cried. turning to
Lady Eleanor, THAT her style is perfect.
Any change would be for the worse"
She sings charmingly, replied Lady
Eleanor, u little vaguely. Whereupon
Mr.. Fcyne returned.

Eleanor grew crimson. II am learn

The next day ut breakfast Richard
begged his sister to ask Miss Wilson to
come up again and sing. Lady Violet was
only too glad to be able to provide some
pleasure for him. She readily acquiesced,
but when she and Lady Eleanor were
sitting together in the little boudoir, she
referred to the subject of Jenny, and
found Eleanor far from responsive. Lady
Niolets sitting room was a pretty little
room overlooking the lake and distant
woods. 1t was simply crammed with
knicknacks and pretty little useless
things. There were plenty of little tables
covered with china and silver boxes and
bric-a-brac. There was no such thing
